3D Flat Panel With No Glasses

Posted by timothy on from the my-flat-panel-has-no-glasses dept.

m4c north writes "From Japan Today: 'Toshiba Corp said Friday it has developed a brand-new flat-display that allows viewers to see three-dimensional images without using special glasses. The display is expected to be applied to arcade games, virtual menus at restaurants and simulations of buildings and landscapes. The company said it aims to commercialize the display within two years.' JCN Network offers a few more details than Japan Today's rather short summary. And Toshiba's [toshiba.co.jp] press release has some simple figures. Maybe pinball will make a comeback!"

    Watch another prototype which uses only 16 times the screen resolution of its 2d counterpart. Have a seat at our stand while we give you some flyers about our other exiting products. No don't move your head out of range, simply keep your back to the back of the chair. Their you go, don't you just want to reach out your arms!? Yes, now you can move your head a little, isn't that a cool effect?! That really works.

    No, its a prototype.
    No, it requires a custom videocard cluster.
    No, it doesn't come with software only this demo movie.
    What you saw the same 10 years ago at Philips? Never heard of them.
    Well yes, if GPU and video bandwidth evolves just a little bit further this thing could be in the shop the next day.
    Don't forget the name of our 'innovative' company.
    See you next year.

    You just have to wink each eye in rapid succession to get the 3d effect, the panel is a regular one! They have quite clearly patented the idea of winking rapidly.

  10. Wow! You have a 2D monitor? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    The closest that I've seen to a 2D monitor is an LCD, and even those are around an inch thick.
    How do you prevent light from shining through your 2D monitor?
    I should think that, due to quantum effects, your 2D monitor would be, in essence, invisible.
    Also, being 2D, I should think that even the slightest breeze would destroy it.
